Corey - 8/28 - An Acceptable Time, by Madeleine L'EngleI don't remember much about this book, but I remember a time-traveling bishop, praying to Jesus among druids and magic, holding out his hands, palms up, saying "I have tried to listen, to understand."

Emily - 8/27 - White Clothes

Corey - 8/27 - July Flame, by Laura VeirsThis is such a beautiful album. From When You Give Your Heart, "Since you lay my burdens, since you lay my burdens, since you lay my burdens down, all the troubles I've been dragging down this trail seep into the thirsty ground. And my stampeding buffalo stops in her tracks and watches the snow falling through the old oak tree,when you give your heart to me."

Emily - 8/26 - Black Clothing

Corey - 8/26 - Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt VonnegutThe full name of this haunting book - "Slaughterhouse-Five or The Children's Crusade, a Duty-Dance with Death by Kurt Vonnegut, who, as an american infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, "The Florence of the Elbe," a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale. This is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from. Peace."

Emily - 8/25 - Muji Shower Curtain and Towel

Corey - 8/25 - The Harrow & The Harvest by Gillian Welch"On the day I came to Scarlet Town. You promised I'd be your bride. You left me here to rot away like holly on a mountainside."

Emily - 8/24 - The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet

Corey - 8/24 - Asahi Pentax SpotmaticMy Dad used this camera as a young adult. It has some light leaks, but it still works fairly well. This was my first film camera!

8/23 - More Adventurous VinylOne of my favorite albums from high school.

Corey - 8/23 - BMO Tote BagI purchased this tote bag at Kappa Toys in Las Vegas. I love Adventure Time, and couldn't pass up this perfect and well-priced bag.

Corey - 8/19 - Poler Stuff Excursion PackI love this backpack. It has a sweet camera insert, and several pockets.

Emily - 8/19 - Stuffed CreatureI made this thing in high school out of my great-grandma's fabric.

Corey - 8/18 - Arcade Fire The Suburbs Vinyl The Suburbs, by Arcade Fire, is more than my favorite album. It is a real and full re-telling of my life at 7 and 12 and 16 in the weird suburbs wedged between Los Angeles and Orange County. Every time I return to this album, I learn a little bit more about myself. I learn about who I am in my longing and when I'm by myself and in all the hours I've wasted. This particular song sits heavy with me; I remember the first time I rode my bike to the nearby shopping center, by myself, feeling like "something was mine" - "Cops shone their lights on the reflectors of our bikes. Said, do you kids know what time it is? Well, sir, it's the first time I felt like something was mine, like I have something to give. The last defender of the sprawl said, well where do you kids live? Well, sir, if you only know what the answer was worth; been searching every corner of the earth. "

Emily - 8/17 - GlassesI have terrible eyes and these glasses are so thick they make my face distorted.

Corey - 8/17 - Sufjan Stevens Epic Fail EPA few months ago I saw Sufjan at the Dorthy Chandler Pavilion (my friend Matt gave me a ticket). I bought this EP to solidify the memory of a good musical time. Also that whale is amazing.

Corey - 8/16 - Brownie Bull's-Eye CameraI was at the Long Beach Flea Market with Taryn and Angi when I found this beautiful little Brownie. I tried to do some shooting with it, but the light-leaks and the mis-sized film made it difficult. I'm happy just to have it in one piece!

Emily - 8/15 - Wrap Magazine Issue 11

Corey - 8/15 - Mexican Tote BagMy long standing side satchel tote, purchased in Mexico. I think I bought it in Loreto. It's falling apart, but I still use it from time to time.

Emily - 8/12 - Nose Chain ToyReceived the loveliest mail from Michaela Quan today from when she was studying abroad in Europe. It included this weird nose chain toy where you can change this man's profile. It's strangely absorbing.

Corey - 8/12 - UnderwearYou knew this would happen; many pairs of boxer briefs, mostly Fruit of the Loom, with one pair of Hanes.

Emily - 8/11 - iPod TouchI lovI love this poor cracked thing. It's a time capsule from when I still bought music.

Corey - 8/10 - Dark and Colored SocksThis part of my life is kind of a mess. So many socks.

Emily - 8/10 - Yellow Swivel Chair

Corey - 8/10 - White SocksA collection of white socks. I probably have a few more, but you get the idea.

Emily - 8/9 - Hark! A Vagrant

Corey - 8/9 - Nautical Beach ChairMy parents gave me this beach chair. It hasn't been actually used at the beach. Yet.

Emily - 8/8 - Plant Shelf

Corey - 8/8 - Rainbow SandalsSomebody left this pair of Rainbow Sandals at my house a few years ago. When nobody claimed them, I slipped them on and never looked back.

Emily - 8/7 - Donut PaintingOriginal by Trisha Chan

Corey - 8/7 - LL Bean BackpackMy mom bought this for me when I was in high school. She said: "this backpack will last forever." I rolled my eyes; I was annoyed that there weren't more pockets. A decade later, it's my oldest and most loyal bag. It really will last forever.

Emily - 8/6 - CouchBought this at a place called Jerome's Furniture.

Corey - 8/6 - PillowcaseThe pillowcase I started using in high school. It is still in use today. I love the pattern!

Corey - 8/5 - Sleeping BagThis sleeping bag was a gift from my grandparents, because Grandpa Jim heard me say I "needed a new sleeping bag" (I didn't). I guess they were right though, 7ish years later and I'm still using it.

Emily - 8/2 - NotebookA birthday gift from my cousin Rachel that I've been putting to good use! Life is better when I can write down and sort through my thoughts. Original pattern is by Hannah Rampley.

Corey - 8/2 - BeltI don't usually put forward money for a belt; this time I made a exception. I got my hair cut at Bar Beer several months ago, and with it came a 15% off coupon for their Mens Goods store. Thanks Bar Beer!
